Performance Leaders lists commodities contracts with the highest and lowest Percent Change (the difference between Previous Close and the Last Price). This page can help you identify the commodities with the most price movement from the close of the market yesterday.

A Bearish trend is one where there is an downward trend or falling direction in the market. On the Futures Performance Leaders page, contracts listed on the Bearish Trends table are those with the lowest percent change over the specified time period.

Data Updates

The Futures Performance page is updated every 10 minutes throughout the trading day. However, new symbols are not automatically added to or re-ranked on the page until the site performs its 10-minute update.

Views

The page contain four standard views, and Flipcharts are available for the symbols listed on the page. My Barchart members also have the option to display the data using any Custom View you've created, and the data can be downloaded to Excel.

The Chart View displays a graph showing Bullish Momentum as green bars (highest Weighted Alpha), followed by Bearish Momentum as red bars (lowest Weighted Alpha). Click on any Commodity Name to view the quote for that commodity.
